Thanks to both of you for the replies! Hee, I like the way you used the dishes of food as a metaphor for choices, and it definitely helps to look at it that way, the only problem is most of the time I don’t even know what I want myself! 😛 And you’re right in saying that if it’s meant to be, it will be. I’d like to be able to make a decision based on what I want but the things I want seem to be contradicting each other right now. Cyd, it’s comforting to know someone else has been where I am! And I think you’re right in saying I would have nothing to lose in going to my boyfriend’s college for my first year and seeing where it goes from there. The thing is, I want to be a game warden and I love wildlife, but art has also always been one of my passions. The college that’s about 2 hours away is well-known for their environmental/wildlife programs, but it doesn’t have anything for art. My boyfriend’s college has a good art program, but minimal environmental/wildlife programs (other than a nature tourism minor). If I go to his for the first year, I’d be majoring in art. Who knows where I’ll be at the end of my first year, but if I still wanted to follow the game warden career path, I could transfer over to the other one. Who knows, maybe I’ll change my mind and get hooked on the art program and not want to transfer anyways? Or maybe I’ll go for two years and then transfer over? Besides, like you said, in the first year it’s mostly prerequisite classes. I won’t even be learning a lot that has to do with my major until sophomore or junior year anyways, right? So since I’m paying for it all myself, it actually would make sense to go the first year or two to the less expensive college where my boyfriend happens to go. Not only would it be saving me money, it’d be giving me the opportunity to experience a major in art and a major in wildlife. I had been considering this before your reply, but knowing that someone else thinks it’s a potentially good idea is pretty encouraging and relieving to know, so thank you 🙂 I might just decide on doing just that.
